Although this doesn't answer your question specific to the Bowser PCC, I hope this will give you some idea. I copied this from the N.M.R.A. wbb site [url="http://www.nmra.org/standards/s-5.html"]<u>NMRA STANDARDS S-5 Traction Power Collection</u>[/url]): <br />[quote]QUOTE: <font size="2">OVERHEAD: <br /> <br />a. The wire heights specified (equivalent to 21' for city/interurban and 23' for heavy RR type operation) will accommodate the widest practical range of car and locomotive types. A height other than that specified may be used to simulate a specific prototype or a limited class of equipment, but may limit interchange of equipment. <br /> <br />b. Normal wire height may be lowered thru underpasses and other obstructions, with consideration for the clearances of equipment to be operated. <br /></font id="size2">[/quote] <br />
